2 Reading is a window to the world. Reading is a foundational skill for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. The degree to which students can read and understand text in all formats (e.g., picture, video, print) and all contexts is a key indicator of success in school and in life. As a lifelong learning skill, reading goes beyond decoding and comprehension to interpretation and development of new understandings. Inquiry provides a framework for learning. To become independent learners, students must gain not only the skills but also the disposition to use those skills, along with an understanding of their own responsibilities and self-assessment strategies. Combined, these four elements build a learner who can thrive in a complex information environment. Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. In this increasingly global world of information, students must be taught to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use information ethically, and use social tools responsibly and safely. Technology skills are crucial for future employment needs. Today s students need to develop information skills that will enable them to use technology as an important tool for learning, both now and in the future. Equitable access is a key component for education. All children deserve equitable access to books and reading, to information, and to information technology in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.
3 The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed. Information literacy has progressed from the simple definition of using reference resources to find information. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as crucial skills for this century. The continuing expansion of information demands that all individuals acquire the thinking skills that will enable them to learn on their own. The amount of information available to our learners necessitates that each individual acquire the skills to select, evaluate, and use information appropriately and effectively. LEARNERS USE SKILLS, RESOURCES, & TOOLS TO: 1 2 Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. Learning has a social context. Learning is enhanced by opportunities to share and learn with others. Students need to develop skills in sharing knowledge and learning with others, both in face-to-face situations and through technology. School libraries are essential to the development of learning skills. School libraries provide equitable physical and intellectual access to the resources and tools required for learning in a warm, stimulating, and safe environment. School librarians collaborate with others to provide instruction, learning strategies, and practice in using the essential learning skills needed in the 21st century. 3 4 Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society. Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.
4 LEARNERS USE SKILLS, RESOURCES, & TOOLS TO: 1 Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. 1.1 Skills Follow an inquirybased process in seeking knowledge in curricular subjects, and make the realworld connection for using this process in own life Use prior and background knowledge as context for new learning Develop and refine a range of questions to frame the search for new understanding Find, evaluate, and select appropriate sources to answer questions Evaluate information found in selected sources on the basis of accuracy, validity, appropriateness for needs, importance, and social and cultural context Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format (e.g., textual, visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning Make sense of information gathered from diverse sources by identifying misconceptions, main and supporting ideas, conflicting information, and point of view or bias Demonstrate mastery of technology tools for accessing information and pursuing inquiry Collaborate with others to broaden and deepen understanding. 1.2 Dispositions Display initiative and engagement by posing questions and investigating the answers beyond the collection of superficial facts Demonstrate confidence and selfdirection by making independent choices in the selection of resources and information Demonstrate creativity by using multiple resources and formats Maintain a critical stance by questioning the validity and accuracy of all information Demonstrate adaptability by changing the inquiry focus, questions, resources, or strategies when necessary to achieve success Display emotional resilience by persisting in information searching despite challenges Display persistence by continuing to pursue information to gain a broad perspective. 1.3 Responsibilities Respect copyright/ intellectual property rights of creators and producers Seek divergent perspectives during information gathering and assessment Follow ethical and legal guidelines in gathering and using information Contribute to the exchange of ideas within the learning community Use information technology responsibly. 1.4 Self-Assessment Monitor own information-seeking processes for effectiveness and progress, and adapt as necessary Use interaction with and feedback from teachers and peers to guide own inquiry process Monitor gathered information, and assess for gaps or weaknesses Seek appropriate help when it is needed.
5 LEARNERS USE SKILLS, RESOURCES, & TOOLS TO: 2 Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. 2.1 Skills Continue an inquirybased research process by applying criticalthinking skills (analysis, synthesis, evaluation, organization) to information and knowledge in order to construct new understandings, draw conclusions, and create new knowledge Organize knowledge so that it is useful Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to curricular areas, realworld situations, and further investigations Use technology and other information tools to analyze and organize information Collaborate with others to exchange ideas, develop new understandings, make decisions, and solve problems Use the writing process, media and visual literacy, and technology skills to create products that express new understandings. 2.2 Dispositions Demonstrate flexibility in the use of resources by adapting information strategies to each specific resource and by seeking additional resources when clear conclusions cannot be drawn Use both divergent and convergent thinking to formulate alternative conclusions and test them against the evidence Employ a critical stance in drawing conclusions by demonstrating that the pattern of evidence leads to a decision or conclusion Demonstrate personal productivity by completing products to express learning. 2.3 Responsibilities Connect understanding to the real world Consider diverse and global perspectives in drawing conclusions Use valid information and reasoned conclusions to make ethical decisions. 2.4 Self-Assessment Determine how to act on information (accept, reject, modify) Reflect on systematic process, and assess for completeness of investigation Recognize new knowledge and understanding Develop directions for future investigations.
